The Quint is an Indian news website founded by Raghav Bahl and Ritu Kapur.[1][2] It is a web based news site with the main news consumers being social media users.[3][failed verification]

Criticism

The website came under heavy criticism in January 2018 for its reporting in the Kulbhushan Jadhav case.[4][5][6] Although it has retracted from that report and corrected itself later on it led to mass blocking of its Twitter account by Indians as protest and uninstalling of its Google app.
